Bowmore 12 year old 75cl 1980s

Bowmore distillery is located on the Isle of Islay and is the birthplace of this particular expression. The whisky in this bottle was distilled in the late 1960s or 1970s and aged for 12 years before being bottled by the distillery in the classic brown and gold dumpy bottle of the 1980s. The bottle is sold with its original gold tube.

Bowmore is the oldest distillery on Islay however it didn’t have much notable history until Suntory bought 35% in Morrison-Bowmore in 1989. After this point we saw huge changes in how Bowmore was marketed to the world. The launch of Black Bowmore in 1993, arguably, signalled the induction of whisky as a collectable asset. Suntory bought Morrison-Bowmore outright in 1994. Following this was the launch of Bowmore 15 Darkest in 1999, and the eventual release of the oldest and most sought-after Bowmore stocks to the world. There was also the change in distillate style after Suntory became involved, with the pre1990 stock of Bowmore like this one being given the ‘lavender’ moniker.

I would like to say that it was a highly professional and helpful service. Great communication from Mark, really helpful advice. I felt in control of the selling process, and payment was super swift. I would definitely use again. Many thanks Mark and team.

In a word Excellent! I first discovered Mark on YouTube and contacted him to ask a couple of questions. His breath of knowledge on the subject is considerable. I will definitely be in purchasing from his website over the coming years!

Trevor Birch

First class service throughout! Made the process of selling my whiskies so easy. I highly recommend Mark Littler LTD and would not hesitate to their services again. Many thanks!

Basia Henderson

Fantastic service! The sale of my 1965 18 year old Macallan was quick and smooth. Selling a high value product of this kind for the first time can be a bit daunting, but Beth and Hannah were extremely helpful and professional. They maintained clear communication throughout the process, answered all my questions promptly and were very reassuring. Thank you!

Duncan Lees

09:16 08 Jun 22

I was really impressed with the service from Mark Littler. They were very transparent about the different routes available for dealing with the two bottles of whisky I was looking to sell, and were helpful when discussing the pros and cons of each, without being pushy. (They definitely seemed to be able to offer more options than most of the other dealers I contacted.) Sending off rare bottles of whisky in the post is a scary thing, but the delivery system was efficient and very secure, and the way the contract was handled was very reassuring. I would definitely use them again if I had any bottles to seek in future.

Very happy with my experience of selling via Mark Littler. I was a little apprehensive about posting my £5k bottle from Scotland. It was all very straight forward, the packaging arrived with very clear instructions. The contract was also clearly marked for signature. I was happy with the price offered and received my bank transfer in a timely manner. I was pleasantly impressed with the communication updates provided. I would definitely recommend. Thank you

With the daunting task of selling a 17-year old barrel of Bruichladdich Whisky, I turned to Mark Littler in Oct '21. He and his team professionally led me through the process to successfully achieving a good sale and subsequent payment of proceeds - from another part of the world. I highly recommend Mark Littler and their whisky services!

Mark Jacques

Very happy with the service provided by Mark Littler Ltd. They kept me informed throughout the whole process of valuing and selling my bottle of 1961 Macallan Whisky. They obtained a good price for a private sale. The courier service that they provided was easy and quick to use. The sale went smoothly and payment was received directly into my bank account promptly.

Neil Spratt

Having looked at several whisky sellers, Mark Littler stood out and from the outset their knowledge, professional and great service was outstanding. My transaction was handled very expertly and when ahead seamlessly and promptly, and their communication throughout was excellent and all made for a very happy experience. I would therefore not hesitate in recommending this lovely company.

I recently sold some silver cutlery through Mark Littler. The whole process was made very easy with good communication throughout from Hannah. I was sceptical at first that it was worth making the effort to post the items etc. but glad I did. I achieved a good price and the sale was settled promptly and in a very professional way.

Janette Potter

Gilly Wilson

14:10 27 Nov 21

As I am in Scotland I thought I would send my silver to auction as the easiest way to sell it. However I was wrong. I received a better price than the top estimate I received from my auction house, paid less commission, no hidden charges, payment received in much less time, didn't have to deal with a patronising valuer, didn't have to transport it to the auction just packed it up in packaging and label sent by Mark and took it to the post office. All together a professional hassle free service. Couldn't recommend more highly

Fergus Gillanders

11:34 18 Nov 21

I was unsure of the process of selling something on-line but I needn't have worried as Mark Littler made the whole thing effortless, quick and easy. They provided expert advice on the options available to me and at no time tried to convince me to take one particular offer. I would highly recommend Mark Littler to anyone wishing to sell or auction an item.

ANNIE ROBERTS

Went to Mark to source a specific bottle of whisky. Delighted with the outcome and the service. Professional, friendly and reliable guidance throughout the process. Absolutely trustworthy. I would highly recommend this company.

Mick T

11:07 02 Nov 21

Having bought a cask of whisky back in 2004 we decided that this year was the year to sell it. I approached three different brokers and it wasn't a hard decision to ask Mark to arrange the sale for us. It wasn't only that he said he could achieve the best price for the cask but his professional manor and clear level of knowledge.To sales process was relatively simple with excellent communication throughout. He assisted us with drawing several bottles prior to sale and the logistics of moving the cask.Overall a first class service and if you are wondering he achieved slightly more than the suggested sale price. This was over three times what the first broker offered and 50% more than the second.

Richard Chamberlain

Vlad Marc

TIM SHIPPOBOTHAM

15:53 28 Oct 21

As a complete novice in the world of valuable whisky, I was very pleased with how straightforwardly the private sale of my bottle was handled. I was kept informed at all stages and the whole process from my first enquiry to money in the bank took just three weeks. A pleasure doing business.

Ruth Roberts

12:04 25 Oct 21

Mark Littler has now sold several bottles for us personally and helped us sell many more through Whisky Auctioneer. It was so helpful to get advice and practical help with packaging all of our whisky bottles which seemed initially quite daunting. His advice and service has been excellent, and we have been absolutely delighted to deal with Mark and Hannah. I would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Ruari Truter

18:13 04 Oct 21

Mark was both patient and professional, initially advising and then successfully selling a whisky cask. He, and his staff, talked me through the process, highlighting both opportunities and pitfalls, with simplicity and the minimum of jargon. Mark is extremely knowledgeable on both the distillery side and the market, evident with the excellent price achieved.
